Stat Mat pay/Mat allowance??
Okay,
I am very confused over stat pay and maternity allowance, basically - I have figured I may be able to claim it and that is as far as I have got.
Just wondering who do I ask to give me an answer - Do I go to job centre or?? I know you should go to your employer but I work for a council - who are useless - A couple of months I have not been paid and then they said I don't work for them anymore and that is why I hadn't been paid (I do still work for them, they just have useless) . - So they are the last people I want to ask.
So do I ring job centre???

(I am having to do the same!)
And the council website is useless so I have no idea who I would ring.
I have the officaially worst timed pregancy as I sure all us May mummy to be's know - we miss out on - health grant in pregnancy by a couple of weeks, child trust fund by a month and I have missed out on stat pay by the grand total of 1 week. So a week or so either way and I would be better off. Oh well I will never be rich. :roll: At least I get my baby.
Thanks all

It also doesnt go towards an earning when claiming tax credits (SMP would put us above threshold but as im claiming MA it wont!) so its not all bad! And at least you will get paid every month (well 4 weekly) where by the sounds of your payroll dept isnt so good at that!
at the actually being paid as well rather than being forgotten. I have been remembered this month though.
I'm in the opposite situation, I've stayed with the same employer for so long I'm OK, but my GOODNESS I wish I could quit!! I'm hating every moment of it I've been bullied and my old manager just hasn't given a toss about my pregnancy. All I can say is I'm glad I cost them more money for sticking with it ha!
Good luck, hope you are OK for finance, am learning fast how expensive it is, glad you can look on the brightside, we'll have babies soon YAAAAAY!! x
